Curt, thanks for confirming that. I set up a Perspective as you outlined. In order to quickly review tickler items, then it seems I will need to add start dates to anything I want to be aware of on a daily (hopefully) quickish review cycle, is that correct? If so, then it would still seem to not solve the problem I have of looking at way too many things on a daily basis. I.e., it would be similar to how I set a due date for things I want to be reminded of (by showing Due Soon, for example) -- but then I get an increasingly larger list of Actions that I see but am not getting most of done. Using either method, one can toss an Action (or Project) forward some amount of time by re-setting its start or due date, but that, for me, ends up being the trap I had when I put things to do on my calendar, and then just keep forwarding them ahead a day. Kind of a spiral for those of us with large numbers of actions we'd like to keep on our daily radar, but where only a fraction are able to get done. I admire those (apparently like you) who feel they are relatively on top of things, and realize much/most of my problem is trying to stay aware of too many things too often.
One final thought: do you think your tickler method is different than setting a review date cycle, and then sorting by Next Review? The two limitations I've found to review dates, however, is that they work only on Projects, not Actions, and Next Review is not available when in Context mode.
Thanks, Bob
